Sonnenblumen. Um 1926/30.
Watercolor.
Signed in the upper right. Titled by Nolde on a cut-out piece of paper on the reverse of the frame. On Japan paper. 47.3 x 45 cm (18.6 x 17.7 in).
• For Nolde, flowers “have a soul,” and sunflowers with their human physiognomy are particularly powerful vehicles of expression.
• He brings his stunning palette to paper in ever-changing variations.
• Iconic Expressionism: Flower arrangements are among the most sought-after subjects in the artist’s oeuvre.
Accompanied by a written confirmation issued by the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation on September 23, 2025. The work is registered in the archive of the Seebüll Ada and Emil Nolde Foundation and will be included in the future catalogue raisonné of Emil Nolde's watercolors and drawings.
